Species account from Moths of Glamorgan
(Gilmore, Slade & Stewart, 2009):

A swamp and fen species, requiring Common Reed and Reed Canary-grass for larval development. Mainly found around the larger reedbeds including Oxwich, Crymlyn, Pant-y-sais and Kenfig, though breeding is also suspected at smaller sites including Mynydd Garn-goch, Swansea Vale, Port Talbot Docks and Cardiff Bay. Scattered singletons away from suitable habitat indicate that dispersal occurs.
